The only way to get the -functionality in place was to get the file sources and replace -the input and output routines within with code interfacing to -your own stuff. This work was originally done by the developers -of apache mod_magic, the mime_magic extension just replaced the -apache specific parts with their PHP counterparts. - -Now that the codebase of the file utilities is cleanly devided -into the libmagic library and the file utility built upon it -the original hack is no longer needed. Using libmagic and the -fileinfo extension does not only provide a cleaner interface -to files functionality but also additional functionality so -that theres no reason to keep around mime_magic anymore. - -To keep existing code originaly coded for mime_magic without -changes you may add the following compatibility wrapper function -to your codebase: - -function mime_content_type($file) { - static $finfo = false; - - if ($finfo === false) { - $finfo = finfo_open(MAGIC_MIME); - } - - if (is_resource($file)) { - $buf = fread($fp, 65536); - return finfo_buffer($buf); - } else { - return finfo_file($file); - } -}
